LIMERENCE

280pp., paperback, Cape Town, 2021

A novel set in Johannesburg, about a man's relationships with five ex-girlfriends.

"I fell in love with Scout, the enigmatic and eccentric man in the white Panama hat, and his quest for love took me right back to Melville during those heady, hedonistic days in the 1980s. A story of love, loss, power, intrigue and twists. It reminds us how a single second can change one's destiny, and how a snap decision, either in love or anger, can change one's life irretrievably." Carolyn Steyn, Classic 1027
